There are many aspects to this video that suggest that they are not to be taken too seriously. ]]> 2018-05-14 11:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260421720 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260422604 This next shot in the video, is a stereotypical shot used to portray a boy band. The use of guitars and the performance by the artists to be slouched over their guitars is used to show them as being a stereotypical boy band. Also the costumes of the three artists represents them as being rebellious teens. ]]> 2018-05-14 12:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260422604 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260423435 The tracking shot that is used the most in this video is effective at showing the wildness and rebellious attitude of the band members. Also, the tracking shot is effective at adding to the comical performance of the artists playing multiple roles. ]]> 2018-05-14 12:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260423435 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260443861 Extreme close-ups which are common in rock videos or heavy metal videos are used here. This type of camera shot is effective at representing the unpredictability of the band as well as their rebellious behaviour.]]> 2018-05-14 13:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260443861 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260445390 The performance of the main artists in their multiple roles, shows stereotypical ideas about white men and the way they act. Therefore the performance of the real artists and their roles represents them as being unique and not giving in to societal norms. This emphasises the rebellious behaviour of the three main artists. ]]> 2018-05-14 13:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260445390 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260450681 This image of the main artist at the start of the video is stereotypical of a rap video. The use of props like sunglasses and the closeups on the artists tattoos at the start of the video help give him a cool but mysterious persona. This is a typical stereotype of a rap artist video. Also the fact that he has his shirt off in this shot adds to the stereotype.]]> 2018-05-14 13:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260450681 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260453528 This is another stereotype of a rap artist video. The closeup of the artist with silver teeth is another typical stereotype of rap artists. The fact that in some shots the artist is serious looking to reflect the lyrics of the song, and in other shots he is smiling like this example, represents the eratic behaviour of the rap artist. Also the fact that he is singing/performing in front of the camera is a typical rap video convention that is an attempt by the artist to become more intimate with the audience]]> 2018-05-14 13:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260453528 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260461501 The quick editing that is used in this video is a stereotypical form of editing that has been used to again show the eratic behaviour of the artist. Whereas rap lyrics are normally fast paced and sang quickly, the footage has to be fast to match the speed of the lyrics, therefore this is the reason for this editing that is common in so many rap videos. ]]> 2018-05-14 13:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260461501 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260469041 The use of props such as a gold chain necklace in this video for example is a convention of the rap music video. In some cases it can suggest crime, however in this case, the gold chain has been used to represent power.]]> 2018-05-14 13:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260469041 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260471631 Also, the low lighting in this video is another convention of a rap video. In this case, the low lighting has been used to represent the artist as being mysterious. Also in rap videos, the convention is used to represent danger or power. However in this case, lack of lighting enhances the colour and prominence of the paint that is seen in the video, which adds meaning to the video. ]]> 2018-05-14 13:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260471631 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260478271 Close-ups are a typical camera shot that are used in pop music videos. In this example for Shawn Mendes, the close-up shot has been used to represent the vulnerability that he feels in the situation of the video. The close-up shows the raw emotions of the main artist.]]> 2018-05-14 14:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260478271 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260484135 Cutting from the main artist to the female performer in the video is an effect in this video that represents the video as being a narrative/performance music video, which is a typical form of storytelling in for pop music videos. The editing also is fast which is an effective technique to move through the storyline quickly. ]]> 2018-05-14 14:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260484135 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260603258 The use of a variety of camera angles and shots in the below example is a typical convention of a pop music video. In this example, in order to make the music video and its narrative more interesting and engaging, shots from, close ups to long shots to blurry effect edits have been included to create the atmosphere of confusion and disorientation that the performer is feeling. Also, this sequence is also filmed in a nightclub or a party scene which is a typical location used in pop music videos.]]> 2018-05-14 18:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260603258 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260609742 The performance in the video is the stereotypical perception of teenagers or young adults. This is effective as this piece of music is targeted specifically towards young adults, the video would therefore receive more views. The performance displays perceptions that teens/young adults are moody, always bored, and have boyfriends/girlfriends. Additionally, the narrative depicts a corrupt and unhealthy relationship between two people which a lot of pop videos would have, and can be relatable to the target audience. ]]> 2018-05-14 18:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260609742 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260617651 The artist moving from point a to point b while being followed by a camera or sometimes not moving at all is a typical convention of a pop music video. For this example, the performance of the artist is less interesting than that of the performer, therefore the lack of action is effective at drawing more attention to the narrative of the video. Also the fact that the artist is not looking at the camera directly, is effective at again detracting attention from him as well as making him more mysterious. This is another typical convention of a pop music video and is similar to other videos such as Adeles 'Rolling in the Deep'. Also the fact that he is in a small room could represent him as being lonely and longing for love. ]]> 2018-05-14 19:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/nxumd9401hbz/wish/260617651
